Compact GTIN-8 barcodes for small packaging and cosmetics

EAN-8 is the compact 8-digit version of EAN-13 designed specifically for small products—such as cosmetics, pens, chewing gum, and pharmaceutical vials—where a full 13-digit barcode would take up more than 25% of the package surface. Enter 7 digits and CodeKit automatically appends the 8th GS1 Modulo-10 check digit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a 13-digit EAN-13 into an EAN-8?

No. EAN-8 numbers (GTIN-8) are allocated separately by GS1 for small items and are not compressed versions of EAN-13 numbers.
